How important is your attitude to success?
A Harvard Business School study found that 85% of the reasons for success, accomplishments and promotions are related to attitude while only 15% are related to technical expertise*.
Unfortunately 90% of our education is dedicated acquiring facts and figures – only 10% is dedicated to developing positive attitudes.*
So we’re spending 90% of our education time and dollars developing the 15% that is responsible for our success.
